Description: | A complete knapped flint flake, dating to the Neolithic period, between 4000 ?? 2200 BC (length: 41.5mm; width: 18mm; thickness: 7mm; weight: 4.6g). On the ventral side of the flake, a slight bulb of percussion remains with an eraillure scar. No radiating ripples or ??lunettes?? remain. On the dorsal side, there are multiple arrises (three or four) running down the length of the artefact with some infrequent retouched areas down the left side. A flake, according to Bond, C, J, 2004 ??Guide to the Identification, Assessment and Recording of Lithics, Version 1??, page 202, is any material removed from a core, but not exceeding blade proportions in maximum length and breadth. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johnson, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
